What are your favorite places to live in the US? Or best places? And why?

sorry guys. my specifics are as follows:

currently in small town in Hawaii. Looking to take a break for a year, and reevaluate.
Recently broke up with SO, we have a young son together.
Grew up in NYC, he's from Kaua'i, very country boy. ( he wants to move as well, but separately)
Our backgrounds are both environmental sci, and sustainability, wrking in community agriculture and hoping to connect with that wherever we go.

Looking more for quality of life, and just thought i'd as for your guys' feedback.

Mainly quality of life. I'm in a quiet city hawaii right now, and looking to change things up for a year or so.

My former SO is an island boy, never experienced a big city, whereas I'm originally from NYC.
We have a one yr old, and I'm looking to change things for a bit.
I'd like to move back to the city but don't want him(SO) to be overwhelmed. Trying to find a decent compromise, thought I'd put it out there =)

Honestly, I'd say weather wise, southern CA. Not that I'd ever want to live there, but there was a joke I heard on a TV show about how weathermen there have the easiest job. It's always sunny with moderate to warm weather, every single day.

Spent some time in San Diego (around La Jolla). Just really a different culture than I'm use too. Hard to describe, but it just didn't feel right. I mean, I live close to NYC now, but it always felt more crowded there.
